"Master, can you go to the humble house for a meal before leaving? I think my mother will be very reluctant to let you go. Xi Zhen hurriedly turned around and wiped away his tears, looked at the figure of the Xuanji Dao Chief, and asked.

"No, Ah Zhen, I'm not good at saying goodbye, you can help me tell your mother." The Xuanji Daoist turned his head and smiled at her.

"The apprentice has received your careful teaching for ten years, and I can't repay you too much, please let me see you off well." Xi Zhenyan sincerely persisted.

The Xuanji Daoist smiled knowingly, looked at her with a gentle face, and said, "Ah Zhen understands the affection for the teacher, and the cultivators are not confined to these, so you don't have to be uneasy because of this." With that, the Mysterious Daoist took out an oval wooden box the size of an egg from his pocket.

"Ah Zhen, the six tribulations in your life are all dangerous, and you are often worried about your safety as a teacher, but life and death are in the sky, and what will happen in the end depends on your creation, this box, you don't open it, just take it with you, especially at night." The Xuanji Daoist said and handed it to Xi Zhen.

"Is it an amulet?" Hee Zhen asked curiously as he took it.

"You can say that, but it's not just a talisman, and you'll learn about it later."

Xi Zhen hurriedly saluted and thanked him, and carefully placed it in his pocket.

"Well, then, let's say goodbye." A handful of dust suddenly appeared on the hand of the Taoist Master, and he gently brushed Xi Zhen's head with the dust, and Xi Zhen only felt a cool feeling from the top of his head, and his whole body felt extremely comfortable.

"Ah Zhen, goodbye!" Xuanji Daoist said with a smile.

"Master, goodbye!" Xi Zhen was busy suppressing the sadness in his heart and squeezing out a smile on his face.

The Xuanji Daoist gently touched the temple with a whisk, and the entire temple disappeared immediately.

He smiled and turned and flew away, followed by the blue-robed young man.

Master...... Xi Zhen immediately flew after him, but the Xuanji Daoist and the blue-robed young man disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Xizhen looked at it with tears in her eyes, and couldn't bear to leave for a long time.

After a long time, she looked back at the empty mountain, and the scene of the past ten years of concentrating with him was like a dream, and only the spiritual power she possessed told her that it had really happened.

Master, take care! Xizhen looked at the direction he was leaving and said silently in his heart.

In the distance, the dark sky gradually became bright, and the sky was almost dawning.

She leaped forward, flew briskly like a bird to the foot of the mountain, and then swept across the field at a speed like floating on water, and flew towards the Shen Mansion.

When she got back to her room, she quickly changed into her nightgown and slipped into the bed.

Soon, she fell asleep.

The small wooden box in her pocket shone a faint white light through the covers, but she was asleep and therefore unaware.

…………………………………

However, it was said that King Qingping and General Han rushed straight to the capital after saying goodbye to Xizhen, and came to the palace gate in less than an hour.

Looking at the majestic city gate, King Qingping said in his heart: "Mother, I have come to a place that you can't avoid again, although I don't like it as much as you, but I am not afraid of it." However, mother, you said that you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace to save your life, and this will be remembered by children. ”

"Lord Wang, how long are you going to stay in Beijing this time?" After jumping off the horse, General Han asked him.

"It depends on the situation, you and I will go home to see my wife and children after entering the palace to receive the reward, and when I decide when I will go back one day, I will send someone to inform you."

"Okay, doesn't the prince need me to be by his side?" General Han asked again, before he escorted King Qingping into Beijing, he had been told by Concubine Gina that she wanted him to protect King Qingping, so he thought that he ran home to see his wife and children, leaving King Qingping alone in the palace, which was a bit unreasonable in his conscience.

"No, I'll be careful myself. If I'm such a big person, I can't even protect myself, then it's really a vain mother who has cultivated me in the past eighteen years. King Qingping replied in a sonorous tone.

"Okay, then you remember to be careful everywhere, not afraid of loyal ministers, but afraid of villains." General Han instructed softly.

King Qingping nodded.

The guards opened the gates, and they entered.

The Zichen Hall was close in front of him, and King Qingping tried his best to put on a respectful appearance, but a trace of fearlessness flashed on his face.

Every time I enter Kyoto, I am inevitably scared, which is related to his life experience.

King Qingping's name is Chu Zihou, the second child of Emperor Guangzhao, who is eighteen years old this year, and has lived on the frontier since he was nine months old, until now.

As the second prince, why do you have to stay away from the palace and the capital at such a young age? This brings us to the incident that happened when he was still an infant.

Nineteen years ago, Mao led an army of 100,000 to invade the northern frontier of Xi State, at that time, Emperor Guangzhao's identity was only the crown prince of Xi State, and he was ordered to bring 80,000 elite soldiers with three generals to meet the enemy army in four ways.

Due to the large number of enemy soldiers and their good cavalry and archery, after fighting for a long time, the Xi army was forced into a valley with all its strength.

Seeing that the whole army was about to be destroyed, everyone was ready to die generously. Suddenly, four teams of men and horses organized by the border herdsmen carried various original life-killing weapons and led the Tibetan mastiff from the four directions of the valley, and the enemy was caught off guard, and the ghost cried wolf, and finally had to obediently raise his hands and surrender.

The prince rewarded the herdsmen and met one of the beautiful girls, Lazakina, who fell in love at first sight and soon fell in love.

At that time, Emperor Guangzhao had already married a wife and had a son, so Lazagina could only return to Beijing with him as a concubine. Soon after returning to Beijing, she became pregnant with his child.

It was also in that year that the old emperor died suddenly due to a recurrence of an old illness, and as a candidate for the heir who had already been decided, he ascended to the throne smoothly as the crown prince, called: Emperor Guangzhao.

His main wife, Wen Ci, was canonized as empress, his eldest son Chu Zican also became the crown prince as a matter of course, and Lazagina was canonized as a concubine.

Soon after the new emperor took office, he and Lazagina's child was born, and he was very happy. On the child's 100th birthday, Emperor Guangzhao invited the most famous astronomers and scholars of the Xi Kingdom to serve him. When the results of the divination came out, the astronomers and scholars were all surprised, and they did not dare to say it because Empress Wenci was around. When the emperor saw this, he knew that there must be something unusual about this child, so he asked the queen and the others to retreat first.

"Emperor Qiyu, Concubine Gina, this son has dragon eyes and wind eyes, sun horns and dragon faces, and strange bones, which is the appearance of destiny!" Xiangshi said excitedly. He has been a scholar for more than 40 years, and it is the first time he has seen such a precious appearance, so it is difficult to hide his excitement.

"Judging from the eight characters, this sub has four complete libraries, thick soil and virtue, and the stars are strong and prosperous. From the perspective of the heavenly and earthly branches, this son has the qi in all directions, both civil and military, can master the true pole of benevolence and righteousness, dominate the heaven and earth, and his life is indescribably expensive! The astronomer said with joy on his face. He has watched the celestial phenomena and arranged the heavenly and terrestrial branches for so many years, and it is the first time he has seen a person with such a good combination of natal personalities.

The emperor was overjoyed and rewarded them heavily.

Soon after, the saying that 'the second prince is the order of the Son of Heaven' reached the ears of Empress Wenci, who was greatly displeased, and the more she thought about it, the more panicked she became.

"Obviously, my son Chu Zican is the legitimate choice to succeed to the throne, how can he be allowed to mess up the climate with a second prince?" The queen said indignantly in her heart.

Since then, Empress Wenci has cared for Lazagina's mother and son on the surface, but she has a very heavy mustard in her heart.

One day, when Lazakina suddenly turned her head, she noticed a cold light flashing in her eyes, and her heart shivered, and her hands holding the child couldn't help but tighten.

is also a woman, and it is the emperor's woman, how could Lazagina not see the queen's thoughts? As a result, she feared for the safety of herself and her son.

And the queen's attitude towards her became more and more cold and eccentric, which made her feel more and more uneasy. Although she knew that the emperor would protect them, she knew that the emperor still had to take care of the affairs of the people in the world every day, and it was impossible to stay behind all the time. Palace, and then. The palace is also the place where Empress Wenci is in power, so she is always worried.

It is naturally difficult to live happily with fear in your heart, and Lazagina soon became ill and took no medicine.

She knew that if she continued like this, she and her son would be in danger, so she tossed and turned, thought about it, and finally thought of escaping.

As a woman who grew up in the unrestrained environment of the frontier, she did not envy the life in the palace, and if it were not for the respect and love for the emperor, she would rather stay in the frontier forever.

Now, it's time to make a decision.

Once she had made a decision, she wished she could leave the palace immediately, so she acted very quickly.

She first expressed to the emperor that she did not want to cause trouble to the empress and the crown prince, and did not want to see the scene of her brothers killing each other, and then she said that she wanted to take Chu Zihou back to the frontier.

"This is good for the son, and it is good for the prince, and the concubine is willing to do her best to raise him to adulthood. In the future, as long as there is no emperor's will, we can never take a step out of the frontier, and will definitely do our best to protect the frontier, the emperor, the concubine is the greatest honor in this life, I dare not ask for anything else, just ask you for this one thing, and I hope you will fulfill it. She fell on her face and supplied.

After hearing her words, the emperor was silent for a long time and burst into tears. But he also knew in his heart that from the current situation, this was indeed a choice between two worlds. So, he finally agreed to her request in tears.

Three days later, Emperor Guangzhao held a banquet to congratulate Gina and Chu Zihou, and sent his most trusted generals and elite soldiers to escort them all the way back to Xinjiang. At the same time, the emperor decreed that they were given fiefs, military horses, and mansions so that they could live there in peace and prosperity.

However, in order to show that she and her son had no intention of competing with the crown prince for the world, Lazagina politely rejected the emperor's will, and instead chose to live with her father and mother, and let Chu Zihou live a simple life like an ordinary herdsman.

In this way, the queen's guard against them was relaxed.

As the saying goes: the heart can control all things, since the other party does not have this heart, then, Empress Wenci's worries should also be alleviated.
